Review & Installation Video

Justin: Hey, guys. Justin with AmericanMuscle.com, here to talk about the benefits of using the Bama X4 Flash Tuner, loaded with the new custom Bama V2 Tunes on your Coyote powered '11 to '14 GT.
Now, here with me today, Paul Meister from the Bama Performance Team. He's going to talk a little bit more about what the average Coyote owner can expect when uploading a tune to their GT. Paul?
Paul: What you can expect when uploading your tune to your '11 to '14 Mustang GT is a complete remap electronic throttle calibration for improved throttle response. For the automatic owners, it's a complete redesign of the shifting characteristics from shift points, torque converter lock and unlock, fan setting changes, fuel map changes, spark map changes. And of course, a refocus on the twin independent and variable cam for improved drive-ability and maximum performance.
Justin: Absolutely. With the new Bama V2 Tunes, we're talking about a performance, and we're also talking about a race tune. Can you explain the difference?
Paul: Correct. Our Performance V2 Tune is really designed for that aggressive daily driver. It offers a seamless blend of performance and drive-ability. And we do that with a remap ETC; electronic throttle calibration. The automatic guys get a completely revised shift schedule, torque converter changes, and again, some of the twin independent variable cam stuff as well, that we spoke about.
The Race V2 Tune is designed for just that; race use only. We pretty much disable all the torque management. It's designed to shift really aggressively for the automatic guys, and just deliver everything that's left on the table from the vehicle.
Justin: Yeah, and guys, don't forget, with Bama's "Free Tunes For Life," as your car's modifications grow, Paul and his team at Bama Performance will write a new tune for each and every mod so you can get the most out of your set-up.
Now guys, that's going to do it for now. Paul's going to basically translate what he just said in the dyno numbers shortly when we run our 2012 GT behind me. But in the meantime, Paul's going to get out of here. We're going to talk a little bit more about what you can expect with the X4 tuner itself.
As for the actual Bama SF4 tuner itself, well, as you can see, it's a pretty sleek, compact and modern design but with a very large, easy to read, full color LCD display. Now, some of the features with this full color display include a landscape mode, meaning you can turn it sideways, just like a lot of smartphones out there, for a completely different view.
You can also choose different colors and themes available through a menu. And you can also go ahead and select a power-saving auto-dim feature to use while the tuner's plugged in but not in use.
So, why the larger screen? Well, the Bama SF4 does feature on-screen gauges and data logging similar to what you'd find with more expensive models like the SCT Livewire or even the ITSX, for instance. These screen layouts are fully customizable and can display up to eight different values at one time, including boosts, air fuel ratio, coolant temp and intake air temperature, just to name a few. And by the way, you can data log these just with a simple touch of a button.
Other features with the SF4 do include built-in WiFi which is a nice little touch and allows you to take care of those future firmware updates wirelessly.
Now, the tuner does feature dual analog inputs and a removable power cord, making storage in a glove box or armrest that much easier. The tuner does still hold 10 tunes at one time and is still capable of reading and clearing those diagnostic codes just like any other tuner available out there on the market today.
Finally, guys, if you do have any more questions about the SF4 tuner itself, please head back to the product page at AmericanMuscle.com where you can read up on some more details in addition to some customer reviews.
Now, before we show you just how much power you can expect on your '11 to '14 GT using a custom Bama V2 Tune, I just wanted to walk you guys through the actual process of uploading the tune using your Bama Performance X4 Flash Tuner, and then we'll go ahead and make our Dyno pull here with our 2012 GT and show you guys the results.
To start, you're going to want to locate your car's OBD-II port, which on the '11 to '14 Ford Mustang GTs is located on the lower portion of the dash here. So, go ahead and plug your tuner in and wait for it to power on. Navigate to your performance or race tune. Select the tune you wish to upload. And then just follow the detailed instructions listed on the screen here.
Of course, if you guys have any trouble whatsoever during this process, you can always reach out to a Bama Tuning Expert. They're always standing by, ready to help you guys out.
With our baseline run already in the books and the tuneup loaded, Paul's going to hop in the car and make another hit here on the Dynojet and see what kind of numbers you can expect with your GT.
Our baseline run using our stock 2012 GT gave us 365 horsepower and 343 pound/feet of torque at the rear wheels. With the Bama V2 93 race tuneup loaded, the car is now making 397 horsepower and 382 pound/feet of torque. That gives us a peak gain of 32 horsepower over those baseline numbers, and gains of as much as 50 horsepower and 47 pound/feet of torque throughout the curve.
The Bama X4 tuner loaded with the new custom Bama V2 Performance and Race Tune is a great way to make the most out of your stock or modified Ford Mustang GT, and is no doubt one of the easier mods you will ever tackle with your ride.

Power

2011+ GTs have dyno proven curve gains of 50 RWHP and 47 ft-lb's of Torque and peak gains of 32 RWHP and 39 ft-lb's of Torque on Bama Custom Tunes. By optimizing the air/fuel ratio and tweaking variable cam timing, a Bama Custom Tune is proven to squeeze out the extra horsepower that Ford left on the table.

Performance

Drastically enhanced throttle response and a much more aggressive throttle map will dramatically improve your Mustang's acceleration, shaving tenths off your quarter mile time while throwing you into the back of your seat every time you smash the gas. Automatic transmissions will see an even greater gain in acceleration and drivability, as the tune adjusts shift points and firmness.

Personalized

For each and every Bama Tune, we ask you 19 questions about your specific Mustang, including your unique set up and intended use, in an easy to use web form. This information allows us to write an entirely custom tune just for your specific vehicle to ensure we deliver the most power and performance possible.

SCT iTSX Wireless Tuner

I ordered my SCT tuner with the BAMA tunes after watching reviews for about 1 year. The day after I placed the order the new iTSx with Iphone app was introduced. I called AM and their friendly staff changed ...
my order to the iTsx without a problem. The tune was written fast by the BAMA staff and I was exited to see it on the porch in 3 days!
After downloading the free SCT app for my Iphone and turning on the bluetooth, I plugged the tuner into the computer port on the driver's side under the dash. The phone immediatly recognized the device and gave simple instructions on when to turn on/off the ignition for the upload of the tune. The saving stock and new tune download took approx 10 min total and was very simple to do with the APP.
I could fell the extra horsepower immediatly which sent my car into traction control at 5k rpm. I put the car into sport mode ( foot on brake ,tap traction control button 2x) and tried again. The car really comes to life in the upper portion of the power band with the 93 race tune!
I have not located a good spot for the performance testing as of yet but the tuner will give 0-60 times, 1/4 mile times and 60-0 braking time as well as estimated horsepower! Cannot wait to expirement more and look forward to my lifetime updates of BAMA tunes. Thanks AM!

iTsx is remarkable!

As soon as I got my iTsx I plugged it in and went to town. It has some cool features that will save me money in the long run. It has A/F ratio, speed, and many other gauges. Also when I order a new tune, ...
all I have to do is download it from my email on my iPhone and it goes straight to my iTsx app and starts the download. The plug-in also holds 10 tunes compared to the wired handhelds that only hold 3. Last but not least it also has the speed test to tell my 0-60', 1/4 time and also my 60-0'. Best buy for my 2012 GT so far. Very pleased.

19 Questions / 5 Answers

Question 1, When loading new tunes like when I had an X3 tuner, do I need to restore to Factory setting before I load the tune?
Question 2, IF or IF NOT, am I able to backup the Factory tune to an external media (eg. USB drive, SD Card, Phone, PC, etc)?
Question 3, Is it possible to tune the Traction Control button? like instead of the way it is, instead pressing the button once is Sport Mode and double tap is Advanced Traction Off then long press for just Traction off (which is actually mislabeled, lol...)

Ghost cam tune? Can Bama Performance provide a "ghost cam" tune for the new 5.0? By ghost cam I mean a tune that makes the car lope as if it has a real high lift cam installed.

13coyote

We offer our version of the Ghost Cam for 2011 + GTs. Our tune is called the Bama Cam, we offer it for manual transmission GT's with an off-road x-pipe only. This tune can be used in conjunction with our Race Tune. When submitting info for your vehicle, you have to request it in the notes field. Give our Bama team a call if you have any other questions!

My laptop is a MacBook. Will having the wireless tuner avoid me from having to buy an additional computer for downloads? Can I just download the tune to my iOS device and then upload to my car? If not, can you pleeeaaassee develop software for Mac?

AaronB

You will need a PC/Windows computer in order to update the tuner and download tunes. Unfortunately, the software is not Mac compatible. Though, you can view the display off Apple products.

Hi, is the custome tune for the Bama Tuners also for 95 / 100 octane programable?

Tim

This Bama iTSX Wireless Tuner w/ 2 Custom Tunes along with the other Bama Performance tuners can be programmed for race fuel. If you were perhaps looking for a tune for a specific application with the race fuel, we would highly recommend reach out to Bama Performance to ensure that your set-up can be calibrated for.

I am curious just how much horsepower the tuner provides from the factory 435hp. I cant wait until a response. I bought Flowmaster American Outlaw pipes yesterday from American Muscle. I love the fact I received a veteran discount as well as free shipping. I am in the slow process of buying add on parts but you can rest assured, I will be more than likely, ordering them from American Muscle!

The Bama iTSX Wireless Tuner w/ 2 Custom Tunes power yield will vary as each vehicle is different, and there a many variables to take into account that will ultimate alter results such as fuel quality, humidity, ambient air temperature, elevation, etc.
Bama Performances in-house results have yielded 50 RWHP and 47 ft-lb's of Torque and peak gains of 32 RWHP and 39 ft-lb's of Torque on a stock application. Again, depending on a handful of variables actual results for every ones vehicle may vary, but this is a very accurate estimate for stock applications.

The product works well but does have some connectivity glitches. Sometimes you have to repair the Bluetooth device with your iPad. Nine times out of ten it has worked flawlessly but the one time at the race track I was swapping out tunes it lost connectivity during a download. I had to reload the stock tune and then reload the tune I was originally downloading which took additional 1/2 hour. I would buy again.

Not only can you load up your tunes. But you can see how great it works! I got about 35 hp and 30 tq gains from the tune and intake.
I now take my iPad with me everywhere and find my self playing with all the different Gadges and speed tests! So far I got a 4.6 0 to 60 time! Don't have any roads yet that I found for the 1/8&1/4 tests.
I strongly recommend this product if you have a apple device.

overall it is a great tune... having a little trouble with the ipad view of the gauges and the speed tests.
I would have liked to choose what i want to see on the gauges, instead of just 1 setting.
The vacuum gauge does not seem to be working.
Speed tests are difficult due to the fact that to finish the test you have to do a sudden stop,,,,at sudden stop ipad launches to the floor then it does not want to show results.
Overall these are very minor complaints.
What you want is power and this tune does wake the pony's up!

I have actually returned this item for the Bama X4. Main thing I was upset with is that I ordered the product only having a IPad Air 2. This product requires use of a computer in order to receive updates on the software. I was unable to get the tuner to work without a computer which in that case I'd rather spend more on another tuner than buy a computer too. Connectivity issues are real. The team at AM and Bama performance took care of me and got it replaced. Here is one fact that has not changed in 10 years of me buying from AM... if it's not right. They fix it no questions. I will continue to buy because of that service.

I have 2 of these. The first one did what it was supposed to. The second one had an issue programming the tune to the car. The guys at Bama couldn't determine the issue so has me contact SCT. I have been waiting a week for a response from SCT and received no communication. If I can't get a response in the next couple days, I will be returning and purchasing a different brand in the future.

I had the Intune tuner on my old mustang and wanted to change it up a bit with my new one. The ItsX tuner is in my opinion the easiest to use and it's a lot more convenient when you get new tunes because they come to your email through your phone or device and you can take them straight to the app. The power gains are very noticeable and in my 5.0 with 3.73 gears I can spin the tires in 4th gear :] very pleased with this product.

I found you have to unplug and replug after tuning a vehicle or else you run a huge risk in locking up the vehicle. It came back after restoring to stock but not after giving me an almost heart attack. The gauge system isn't very good either. Go with the handheld unit and save the headache. American muscle and Bama was great to deal with. Had my unit in the mail in a couple days.

Okay so I originally planned to order the SCTX4 hand held tuner, but decided to opt for the ITSx Bluetooth tuner so I could download my tunez from my phone's email and upload straight to my car. I was so ecstatic about uploading the tune that I went to my UPS store to personally pick it up then removed my C and L CAI insert and uploaded the 93 octane Race tune all while in the parking lot. Tune took about 15 minutes to upload and I INSTANTLY felt the difference in my 2012 5.0. Ford really left a TON of power stored away in the Coyote motor, this bluetooth tuner really unlocks what Ford kept hidden. The gains are insane, I should have been ordered this little plug in.

You have to manually install the driver becauae the software they tell you to download errors out when trying to do so. iPhone 6 has issues connecting to device via Bluetooth and when it does, the outdated app can't find the tuner. I'm getting my money back. Don't buy.

I have had this for a little over a month and am really pleased with the performance gains. I mostly run the performance tune for 91 octane. I have only done a 0-60 speed test but I would like to get some 1/4's in there.
The software is easy to install, download the app to your phone, download the custom tune from your email, install. Takes about 5 minutes or so.
The pros - real performance gains custom tuned for your mods. The price is really good for everything that you can do with this. The software interface is pretty simple to use. The software's capability is pretty awesome. I have a cell phone holder that is perfect for this setup. These far outway the cons.
The cons - there are only a handful of gauges available that you can use and half are worthless. The dongle kind of sticks out so if you are constantly getting in and out you will kick it, so I just take it out, not a real big deal. To get the gauges or performance functions to work the engine has to be off but the key has to be on, therefore, you cannot run a 0-60 while the engine is running without turning the car off first. This is pain and probably a safety feature because it would way to convenient to run a 0-60 on the highway with the motor running. Also, you cannot pull the gauges up without the motor running, again a pain. I would like to see a firmware update of the software with more gauge options and to allow me to not have to turn the motor off and on again to run different tests or gauges.
I would like to get on a dyno and see how close the power is to the approximations are that are made in the software.
I would however definitely recommend because this a proven tuner that does deliver what it is supposed to, power!

It's only been two hours since I installed it, so I'll need to make updates as I go. Thus far though, it's much smoother at idle and startup. It's really cool being able to read and clear codes. I've had an engine light on since I installed a full exhaust and the collectors were much larger than stock and didn't get up to temp like the little stock ones.
I dropped over all rating because it took two shippment to get a tuner that worked and while I was waiting on this new one I had installed Steeda's CAI which also turned on another engine light. So when Steeda says you need a tune to run their CAI system believe them.
Stand by or more info soon...
Thanks again TO AMERICAN MUSCLE!

Product works great would suggest to anyone looking for one! Only down fall is the cable is to short so when data logging you have to hold the laptop and drive instead of having the passenger hold the laptop.

My experience didn't start off so well, had a problem with shipping and the the tunes were written for the wrong logic. After getting these problems fixed I couldn't be happier, I bought my car used and it had the Boss intake and was throwing codes for bank 1 and 2 cat inefficiency. Not only did the tuner solve that issue but also increased power which is never a bad thing. Thank you for excellent customer service and an awesome product.
